Pinwheel Gift Box & Double Fun Fold Card

Today’s projects feature my favorite In Color, Petunia Pop, paired with the Sketched Butterflies Bundle! The Pinwheel Gift Box is a throwback to an Envelope Punch Board version I’ve shared before, but I like this version more! And you know how much I love fun folds! I hope you’ll give these projects a try!

Did I mention Petunia Pop is my favorite In Color? It’s the perfect mix of purple & pink! And no matter how many butterfly sets Stampin’ Up! releases… I want them all! Let’s get to the projects, shall we?

Pinwheel Gift Box

This Pinwheel Gift Box is so stinkin’ cool! I shared a similar version back in 2017, but it was created with the Envelope Punch Board. And, if I’m being honest, I love this version more! I prefer the clean lines of the “pinwheel”! Here’s another look:

I strategically placed the butterfly so the box can still be opened & closed! Here’s how the box opens:

And tucked under the mini 2″ x 2″ card is a Snack Size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup!

This box would be so cute for party favors or just to brighten someone’s day!

Double Fun Fold Card

This fun fold card is two fun folds in one: a Book Binding Fold & a Z-Fold! Here’s a top-view to show the two different fun folds combined:

Here’s a closer look at the front of the card:

And here’s the card open:

You can have fun playing around with the placement of the front piece. I opted to center the front panel on the z-fold section.
